Recent news about Final Fantasy VII possibly releasing on Steam has put the game back on our collective minds. It appears that won't be happening as predicted, but Square Enix is putting out an updated PC version of the game on its store.

This website -- which is, I have to say, rather slick -- has the juicy details. They're adding 36 Achievements, a character booster (huh?), and most importantly, cloud support for game saves. That last one is a must, in my mind, but doesn't always get implemented.

Final Fantasy: All the Bravest was a travesty. It played itself, it was pretty abrasive in its pandering, and the microtransactions were so pushy that it was hard to enjoy it without feeling like you were constantly being sold something.
